Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I'm a dude, but I frequently browse BadWomansAnatomy. I was having a (calm, respectful) debate with a few users regarding how a lot of people that have "transitioned" still bear hallmarks of their former gender (I mentioned one of my long time friends who has gone from MTF and still looks the same. Kaitlin and Elliot are also good examples). The ban was because I dared to use the "dead names" of Elliot Page and Kaitlin Jenner! Oh the horror! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

I went to post in /r/rant how I just thought it was ridiculous and it was autoremoved because I mentioned the world "mod" in the title and I mentioned a specific community ๐Ÿคฃ

Yeah no you brought that shit on yourself.

  • First of all, trans women actually show lower T levels than cis women because they're literally taking medicine that blocks its production, and yes, cis women do produce testosterone too, just not from testicles. So whatever nonse you think you're able to clock trans women with, you're probably accusing cis women and being a real douche about it too.

  • Second, dead naming is genuinely just a dick thing to do even outside the presence of the person in question, because you're fundamentally saying that you care so little for someone that you're not even going to respect their preferred form of being addressed, which like, why would ya go out of your way to be that asshole. You're being that guy who insists on calling Tim Timothy all the time, why would you be doing that except to get under Tim's skin? Stop being that guy and just call him Tim like a normal person who doesn't need to have basic manners and zero effort good human behavior explained to them.

  • Third, so you're admitting outright you broke community rules and are still thinking the post in question being removed is unfair? I'm not normally a fan of powermodding but bro that's not an excuse to be mad that you faced consequences for breaking the rules in broad daylight.

I can understand calling someone their dead name to their face, I never call my friend Sarah Andrew, because I respect her wishes. These are celebrities that are definitely not going to see this and people are getting pissed off about me referring to someone else. Respect is earned, not given freely. I don't give a fuck if it's Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt or Kaitlyn Jenner. It's like me referring to John Wayne (the actor) as Marion Morrison (his real name) and people flipping shit. Get a fucking grip people.

Hate speech is one thing, but apparently differing opinions aren't welcomed though, regardless of how they're stated.

Ok but it's not like that. John Wayne is a stage name, you're arguing against referring to trans people by their adopted legal name. It's still being a dick, yes even if you swear that you totally have trans friends.
